EXCLUSIVE: "Teen Mom" Star Farrah on Sex Tape: "I'm Happy With Seven Figures"

noreply@blogger.com (Mary Nelson) — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 17:38:00 +0000

"Teen Mom" star and TTG friend Farrah Abraham has sold her sex tape for almost $1 million to Vivid Entertainment. Many of her fans think Farrah made a horrible decision to sell the tape because they think she isn't setting a good example for her daughter, Sophia. Abraham wanted to speak with TTG to set the record straight.

Farrah told TheTrueGossip.com, "I'm happy with the seven figure settlement I've reached, with who I feel to be the best adult entertainment company in the industry, Vivid. Vivid can handle the media and press surrounding my sexuality."

So why did the 21-year-old mother think making a sex tape with porn star James Deen was a good idea? Abraham explains, "I'm pleased with the outcome, and to have the opportunity to be an entrepreneur was also unexpected." The tape is 70 minutes long and titled "Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom." You read that right.

The MTV star knows the buzz from the tape will die down, but she has a plan for the future,"I look forward to completing my masters degree, focusing on being a great mother for my daughter as well as many other culinary business endeavors in my future."

EXCLUSIVE: Farrah Abraham on Sex Tape: Won't Settle for Less Than a Couple Million

noreply@blogger.com (Mary Nelson) — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:26:00 +0000

TTG friend and "Teen Mom" star Farrah Abraham has been in the news lately for hanging out at Vivid Entertainment and walking hand-in-hand with porn star James Deen. James confirmed the two made a sex tape together, but are not in a relationship.

I asked Farrah to share her side of the story with TheTrueGossip.com to clear up the rumors about the sex tape. Abraham told me she's disappointed that James decided to run his mouth about her "personal video,"I personally will never have anything to do with James. I'm a great woman, mother and entrepreneur," The MTV reality star explained, "I wanted my own personal video made and photos taken for myself, when I'm older I will have my best year to look back on. I'm happy to see my 21st year be done. I've learned a lot."

It looks like Vivid Entertainment is in on this too, considering Farrah confirmed that a company does have a copy of the video,"My lawyer is taking care of that. I will not be settling for anything less then a couple million."

Farrah also wanted to point out she was using protection while making the video, "I made sure my partner was tested and clean and contraception was used," Farrah told TheTrueGossip.com, "This [video] is just something I personally needed for me."

"If my ex boyfriend Derek were alive, I would of rather it had been him with me. But sadly I feel I will never have another boyfriend or love, given that others intentions are not in the right place," Abraham said about her ex-boyfriend who passed away in 2008, "But I will always continue living and staying positive."

No surprise here. Bruce Jenner is finally sick of his wife.

Kris, who's famous for exploiting her kids Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall, and Kylie, has been shutting Bruce out recently, and he's had enough. If you watch their reality show, you have to feel bad for everything Bruce is put through. He doesn't seem to fit in with the Kardashian family.

Reports say that Bruce has been meeting with divorce lawyer and is preparing to end their 21 year marriage. Bruce and Kris have two children together, Kendall and Kylie.

A source told RadarOnline, "Bruce feels that Kris treats him like a doormat, and he’s had enough. She constantly belittles his appearance and complains to mutual friends that he’s boring. Then she has the gall to flaunt her relationships with younger guys in his face."
